Welcome to the site trafman.

Great looking fizzie and good value for money by the looks of it.

Get yourself on the bikesafe course. I did it last year after buying a new FZ-1 as the dealer was giving away a free course with every new bike and being a tight Yorkshireman I love getting summat for nowt.

It was well worth doing and learnt quite a lot from it. The ride out was good especially the motorway section. The instructor, Paul Owen - top bloke, was on a ZZR 1400. It's amazing how violently cars brake when they see a police bike coming up behind them even the ones that weren't over the limit.

Simon

Thanks for the info re the origin of my Fizzy. I really had to check on the web to see if it was sold by Dave Death Motorcycles, I mean I can just imagine at 16 some kid telling his mum he is off to see Mr Death who wants to sell him a motorcycle!! I was not surprised to see this is the name of a real yammy dealer,guess his service tech is called G reaper. :o

I will be contacting the above dealer to see if he has any info regards its sale and history. Actually a nice talking point that your Fizzy was sold by
Mr Death albeit not so reassuring as a rider of it. :unsure:

thanks for your contact details will catch you soon.

cheers
trafman :D
:o :o .... GULP!! ....perhaps not the best way for a traffic cop to sign off! :D :D
